This only works if you know what is and is not a potential future blocker. A perfect example is the data model: IME, most devs do not understand RDBMS very well, and so don’t understand how their decisions will affect future changes or growth. Or worse, they recognize that they don’t know, but choose to dump everything into a JSON column to avoid migrations.
